With the development of the ecosystem approach to f
isheries (EAF), fisheries management is
increasingly required to deal with multiple, often
conflicting objectives. In this context, the
stochastic co-viability approach has been proposed
as a useful modeling framework as it allows
for the combined representation of complex fisherie
s dynamics,...
Export economy has been interrupted in shrimp/prawn, the second largest earning source of Bangladesh due to detection of Nitrofuran in export ed prawns to the EU countries. Around 100 consignments of frozen prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) were rejected at the EU borders between 2005 and 2009. Bangladesh exported shrimp and fish...
The “Lake Chad” is one of the world, largest and most historical Lake located in the Sahel region of
Africa (lat. 12:30 N to 14:30 N and long. 13:00E to
15:30 E ) which is one of the most vulnerable regions
to climate change bordering North-Eastern Nigeria,
North-Western Cameroon, South-Eastern...
The study was carried out in Anyigba, North central
Nigeria to analyze the distribution, marketing and
consumption
of sea food. It specifically sought to describe the
socio-economic characters of the fish marketers and consumers,
identify the distribution channel of fish, the species of fish sold and consumed‚ and preferences in...
In Europe, the United Kingdom is one of the top nine producers of trout. Scotland accounts for
approximately 50% of total production in the UK. This shows that the Scottish trout farming sector is
important both at the local and has relevance within the larger context of pan-European trout production....
Employing an experimental approach, we examine whet
her the uncertainty on the fish/outputs price affects the
choice of vessel sizes of fishers under an ITQ scheme. Our experiment consists of two parts. In the first part,
subjects answer ten questions. The purpose is to extract the risk preference of each...
As many cases of tropical small-scale fisheries, the French Guiana coastal fishery is characterized by
the
high fish biodiversity of its ecosystem, the weak selectivity of the fleets exploiting the resources,
the
heterogeneity of the vessels in term of size and fishing techniques. The traditional tools used to manage
fisheries...
Africa has traditionally depended on capture fisheries for most of its fish and fish products. However,
with capture fisheries dwindling and human population increasing, alternative sources have become
necessary. Although practiced for many decades, East African fish farming has been funded by donors
whose main interest has been on subsistence...
In aquaculture and fisheries, the value chain consists of all the various processes and activities involved in
bringing fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants to market. In some regions it can be an indicator of the
economic welfare of poor communities involved in small-scale operations. In order to maximize
smallholder participation...
The Aquaculture & Fisheries Collaborative Research Support Program (AquaFish CRSP) fosters the development of technological innovations in aquaculture and fisheries to provide direct results for increased production and decreased environmental impacts in host countries. Ensuring the availability and accessibility of successful technologies through in ventive dissemination techniques is a high...
The contribution of
fish and fisheries products in the economy of Horn
of Africa countries is substantial to food security,
livelihoods, employment and foreign currency earnings. However, production is mostly characterised by
artisanal fishermen who rely on local and cross border trading conducted through informal and unofficial
market channels and...
The trade of fish and fish products in Africa is expanding significantly as a function of increased demand for fish in
the region and across the world. Several factors which could be attributed to the rising trend include
increasing fish
consumption due to population growth, health awareness, dwindling production from...
The OECD fisheries committee is finalizing a project on the economics of rebuilding fisheries. The focus
of the study has been the economic and institutional aspects of the rebuilding process, and the main
objectives were to identify economic, social and governance components underpinning successful
rebuilding based on the experiences of...
Central Europe is an emerging market for seafood products, with rapidly developing opportunities for foreign direct investment and export. Although Poland in particular is widely regarded as a land of opportunity in the seafood business, surprisingly little effort has been made until now to gain a deeper understanding of the...
Investors in aquaculture are biased against the mangrove areas and prefer to site their farms in the upland parts of Southwest, Nigeria. This study was carried out to compare the yield performance in the two fish farm locations. The tools utilized included descriptive statistics, budgetary and cash flow analyses and...
The introduction of new frozen processed products such as Marine Stewardship Council certified New Zealand hoki into the UK market is providing consumers with options away from the standard choices of cod and haddock. Resource managers all have a stake in successful product endeavors since new exotic seafood choices could...
Fishmeal prices have increased sharply since the mid-2005 and the relationship between the prices of animal and vegetable proteins have become weaker, at least temporarily. This can be explained by a relatively constant fishmeal supply, which have varied around 6-7 million metric tons the last two decades, and an increasing...
A debate about the level of organic contaminants in farmed salmon relative to wild salmon was started with an article published the journal Science in January 2004. Concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and other contaminants were found to be significantly higher in farmed salmon than in wild salmon. Moreover, European-raised...
The objective of this paper is to explore eating and shopping habits related to fish across five European countries. A cross sectional consumer survey was carried out in Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Poland, and Spain. A total sample of 4800 consumers was obtained, and the sample was representative within each country...
